Zitat von "Lubin, Tim" <[email protected]>:
Oskar von Hinüber (1994: “Die Neun Aṅgas,” p. 132) approvingly cites
Mayrhofer’s judgment (EWA III/ 492) that the derivation from sūkta
is “entbehrlich”; he cites a long discussion of the term in
Buddhaghosa’s Atthasālinī 19.15–26 as evidence against it.

Dear Jim,
See Max Walleser's 1914 book, footnote on p. 4:

K. R. Norman and Gombrich accepted this suggestion. I suppose
Pollock got it from Gombrich.

Dear all,
Sheldon Pollock in The Language of the Gods in the World of Men (p.
52) suggests that the Buddhist term “sutta” does not derive from the
Sanskrit sūtra, but rather from sūkta. Sanskrit double consonant
clusters do show regular assimilation, regressively and
progressively, in Prakrit, where two different consonants become a
double of one of them. I’m interested in hearing learned opinion on
Pollock’s suggestion. I had not noticed this interesting detail,
when I first read this book some years ago.
